About this Item
Original blind-stamped blue covers generally sunned, worn and marked. Split to the cloth along the front gutter, affecting the backstrip, as shown in the photograph. Binding firm. Previous owner's name to ffep. The odd very light patch of scattered spotting. 16 plates to the rear as called for. Contents generally bright despite the wear to the cover. 193pp. The book gives a fascinating insight into Victorian house building with each skill being covered in terms of work done, costings and expectations. This is remarkably detailed with every feature accounted for. The architectural drawings to the rear show the plans for each level of a Victorian four storey townhouse. Chapters relating: excavator; bricklayer; carpenter; joiner; mason; plasterer; slater; plumber; smith and founder; glazier; painter. In all, a decent copy of an interesting builder's book.
